Joey POV

"JOEY! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE" my boyfriend Caleb called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming." I said, not really sure if he could hear me. I put the finishing touches on my concealer to hide the black eye Caleb gave me for coming home five minutes late and headed down stairs. "I'm ready to go."

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS JOSEPH?" He asks, referring to my outfit. I had on a purple knee length skirt with a well fitting black, long sleeved shirt.

"Sorry." I whispered. I looked down at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with him. "I'll go change." I started to turn around to head upstairs until he grabbed on to my wrist and yanked me back. I landed butt first on the floor.

"Are you stupid? You don't have time to change! We need to go meet my sister and her boyfriend for dinner!"

He pulled me off the floor dragged me to the car. He roughly pulled the door of the car open and practically pushed me inside. I bumped the top of my head against the roof of the car.

"Let's get going you little whore." Caleb said while grabbing my hair and whispering roughly in my ear.

AT THE RESTAURANT

"Hi Vivian," Caleb smiled. His whole demeanor changed. It made me sad whenever I see him acting like that, it reminds me of the beginning of our relationship when he used to be kind, caring, and loving. Now he's abusive, physically and verbally. "Is this the boyfriend?" Caleb said, referring to the man standing next to his sister.

"Caleb, meet Daniel" Vivian looked up at Daniel considering that he is at least a foot taller than her. But he was only half a foot taller than me. Daniel stuck his hand out for Caleb to shake and then he shook my hand. I could feel Caleb's eyes staring at me with jealousy while I shook Daniel's hand.

"I'm Joey." I introduced myself knowing that Caleb wasn't going to do it for me. "It's nice to meet you." I pulled Vivian in for a hug.

We got settled into our table. The waiter came over to take our orders for our drinks.

"I'll take a glass of red wine." Vivian said.

"I'll have a light beer." Daniel ordered.

"I'll just stick to a glass of water." I ordered. Caleb doesn't let me drink alcohol, or any drink that cost over five dollars.

"Good boy." Caleb whispers in my ear so no one can hear. His whisper is chilling and unsettling.

"I'll take a bottle of tequila" Caleb orders. I instantly feel embarrassed and scared. Knowing he's planning on getting drunk tonight. And when he's drunk, he's physical.

TOWARDS THE END OF DINNER

Daniel POV

I'm so jealous of Caleb and Joey. I wish I could be that open with my sexuality. The only reason I'm dating Vivian is so nobody will find out I'm gay. I hate Vivian so much. She's abusive towards me. Right before we came here she locked me in our room because she thought I was cheating on her. She slapped me across my face.

"I'm going to head back to the restroom." Joey stated. He stood up and walked off.

About five minutes later I needed to go to the restroom as well. I stood up and went. As I walked in I saw Joey sitting on the bathroom counter fixing his makeup. He's so handsome. I love the way he's not afraid to wear what he wants. "Hi" I say to get his attention.

He jumps at my voice and stuffs what looks to be makeup wipes and concealer in his bag. "What are you doing n here?" He asks

"I needed to pee" I said. I sat on the counter along with him. I notice a huge bruise on his right eye. "What happened to your eye?" My voice laced with concern. I reach up and stroke his cheek, gently pulling him closer so I can inspect the bruise closer.

"Shit" He mutters under his breath. He reaches in his bag a quickly applies concealer. Once the bruise is covered up he hops of the counter and heads for the door.

"Joey, wait!" I quickly run in front of him and block the door.

"Let me through." Joey begs

"First tell me what happened."

"I don't have time. I'm gonna get in trouble by Caleb." He quickly covers his mouth. "I mean, he might get worried."

"Joey" I said still in shock. "what happened with your eye?"

He obviously knew I caught him in a lie. Suddenly he burst out in tears. "He beats me" is all Joey said. I suddenly filled with rage. How can someone hurt another human. Especially someone as sweet and gorgeous as Joey.

"I've tried to get away from him but I don't have any money because he took it all from me to pay for drugs and alcohol, I've lost my best friends: Troye and Connor because he wouldn't let me see them, and I don't have anymore family!" He spoke in between tears.

"It's okay. I know what you're going through."

"How?"

"Vivian is abusive to me too"

"It must run in their family" he said with an eye roll.

"Were gonna get out, okay?"

"I'm scared" he said. I pulled him in to a hug. I rubbed his back.

"I know but just follow my lead." We walked out of the bathroom. I saw the siblings sitting at the table chugging the bottle of tequila Caleb ordered. I lead Joey to the back exit and into my car. Joey let out a breathe and rested his head onto my shoulder once we sat down in the car.

I started the car and drove to the nearest hotel. I paid for our room with the secret credit card I got without Vivian knowing. I opened the door for Joey and I. "Thank you" Joey said simply.

"No problem. I needed to get out too" He pulled me into a tight hug and swayed us slightly. He rested his hear on my shoulder and I rested my head on top of his. I gave him peck on the top of his purple hair.

"You're my savior."Joey said pulling away from the hug and leading u over to the bed so we could sit on the bed.

I sat down with my legs crossed while Joey sat on my lap, facing towards me and crossing his legs around my torso. We stared into each others eyes. We both leaned in until our lips collided in a soft, gentle kiss. I pulled away.

"I thought you were straight?" Joey questioned. He grinned, that being the first time I saw him genuinely happy.

"Don't judge a book by its cover."
